"Learn to listen and listen to learn." - Shane Safir, Author of The Listening Leader: Creating the Conditions for Equitable School Transformation This is the book our District Leadership Team is reading this school year and I have shared a copy of it with our Board of Education. We have committed to learning together again for this school year with this new text. It provides powerful examples and testimony of how individuals can truly be leaders by listening and responding to the needs of our those they work side by side with.

In my attempt to improve I have pulled together this anonymous survey that I invite all students, staff, and our public to fill out. The survey may not be age-appropriate for Elementary School students, but it certainly could be filled out by our Middle School and High School students. It will take less than five minutes, but will offer me feedback to improve my performance as the Superintendent of Dundee Community Schools. Please take the time to fill out the below survey:

The deadline to fill out the survey is Friday, November 16. Again, thank you for taking the time in advance to complete the survey. I plan on sharing the results from the survey at the December 10 Board of Education meeting.

I greatly appreciate you taking the time to fill it out and sharing it.
